A downloadable game for Windows

The shop doors are open, the adventurers are ready to dungeon crawl and you? You're ready to make enough gold to finally pay off your student loans!

Craft and sell items for adventurers so they can venture forth into the dungeon, and earn piles of gold! But be quick: the debt collectors are closing in, and they're scarier than any goblin or lich!

Well done y'all!!! Wow!!! Such a huge game!

So many recipes and stories ! I definitely was running around trying to make things before people left (and sometimes I wouldn't get them in time- darn!) Eventually I remembered a few things and WHERE to make them which made it a bit easier! 

I really liked using the different crafting stations- at first I was a little confused but after I realized you needed to use all the different ones it was easy to get into a swing!

Great job to the whole team!!! This was a big undertaking and it all came together very well! :D 

Definitely felt the chaotic vibes as I was furiously digging through the recipe book while the timer ticks down on my debt, trying to figure out how the hell I was gonna make a Gavel Of Justice?!?!

In all seriousness though, the whole game is bursting at the seems with charm and personality, such a treat to play, well done!

Great job to the whole team! This game had so much in it! Cool art, fun recipes and items, and a fun narrative premise. I definitely paid off my loan! And only had to pay down the interest once.

I'm impressed with how many systems this game had going. Tutorial UI, 3rd person controller, audio, recipes and crafting, and even tooltips!

Special shout out to the Shortbow of Social Anxiety :P

DUDE, dude, making money and getting to keep it after student loads is the mysterious dungeon of LIFE. I love this premise. The adventurers have great speeches about their lives. Like, in their three minute stay I learned so much about Talia of the Wasted from their denial about how they handle alcohol to how their body is marked up and they want to do the same to other people.

Some things I ran into: it wasn't clear to me for a little bit at the start that customers would keep rolling in and out of my pen, once I got that the game pattern made sense to me. I like all the recipes, but the recipe book is a little hard to read the typeface could be bigger in most cases through the game. Also in the recipe book the words are white on a light background, I started just guessing what it says based on the pictures. Last thing, I really appreciate that the customer spells out on the left what their recipe requires and it'd be nice if it also had a slot that mentioned which station the recipe needs to be performed. I made two Jumprope Whips trying to make some Heavy Gauntlets at the Tannery (I figured since there was leather in the recipe?) before finding the recipe book for the first time and seeing that it was under the Blacksmith category. I want a phantom hover hoover pony smart car so I can sleep while traveling like the zz wizard! Maybe that's an ultimate recipe for later.

Uh, question, why does anyone need a bendy coat hanger? bahaha! I like the ballad of the nutcracker too, there were a lot of really cute items you could make. Nice work, team!
